LOCAL 2. ALL RIGHT, AMANDA, THANK YOU SO MUCH. THIS MORNING, POLICE ARE LOOKING FOR THE THIEVES WHO BROKE INTO A RESTAURANT SUPPLY COMPANY. INVESTIGATORS BELIEVE THE CROOKS WERE AFTER SOME EXPENSIVE DEEP FRYERS. COURTNEY GILMORE IS LIVE IN NORTHWEST HOUSTON. WAS THERE A LOT OF DAMAGE INSIDE THAT STORE? Reporter: MAINLY THE DAMAGE IS ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE STORE AND WE'LL GET TO THAT IN ONE SECOND. BUT FIRST, THE DEEP FRYERS, WELL, THEY COST A LOT. I TALKED TO THE ENERGY AND HE SAYS THE FRYERS THAT THESE THIEVES WERE AFTER GO FOR ABOUT $2,500, SO HE ALSO TOLD ME THAT THEY USED THIS EXACT ROCK TO BREAK THROUGH THE GLASS THROUGH THE FRONT DOOR, AND YOU CAN SEE IT RIGHT THERE, PRETTY MUCH A LOT OF DAMAGE LEFT BEHIND ON THE OUTSIDE. IT WAS A CRIME COOKED UP BY THIEVES THAT HAD THEIR EYES SET ON DEEP FRYERS. POLICE SAY THE SUSPECTS MIXED IN OPPORTUNITY, ADDED A PICKUP TRUCK AND A ROCK TO BREAK IN AND A DASH OF RECKLESS BEHAVIOR TO COMPLETE THEIR CRIME, BUT THE MANAGER SAYS THEIR SCHEME TURNED OUT TO BE HALF BAKED. AFTER THE ALARM WENT OFF AT 2:30 IN THE MORNING, THE MANAGER ARRIVED AND FOUND THE FRONT GATE WIDE OPEN. THE SUSPECT BROKE THE BOTTOM GLASS WINDOW TO GET IN. THE MANAGER SAYS THEY WERE AFTER THE DEEP FRYERS BUT WEREN'T ABLE TO GET THEM OUT OF THE GLASS HOLE IN THE DOOR THEY SMASHED THROUGH. THE MANAGER STILL HAS TO TAKE INVENTORY OF THE STORE AND SEE IF THE THIEVES GOT AWAY WITH ANYTHING ELSE. THEY SAY ALL OF THEIR DEEP FRYERS ARE STILL INTACT AND STILL INSIDE OF THE STORE. REPORTING LIVE IN NORTHWEST
